I've been playing around with IPsec lately, and trying to learn about the various ways to get it working... In the process, I've come to wonder about the different development priorities and feature sets of Openswan and stongSwan.
I've found the comparison at openswan.org, however it is pretty obvious that it hasn’t been updated in quite a while - it compares the (not released) Openswan 3.0 to strongSwan 4.1. The problem is that the git repo for openswan shows that the Openswan 3 branch hasn't been touched for years... meanwhile the Openswan 2.x series gets actively developed. But honestly: I don't know of any reason to choose one or the other... it's pretty clear they have different feature sets, but there's not much in the way of comparing the two, partly because the openswan website is so dated. I've not seen much in the way of feature lists to compare - it seems IKEv2 is the biggest difference. Can anybody please enlighten me as to what the advantages offered by strongswan are vs openswan? -- Troy Telford _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.strongswan.org/mailman/listinfo/users
